Aid for refugees in Yemen camps

The European Union says it's donating one and a half million dollars to help refugees living in camps in Yemen.

The camps house Somali, Ethiopian, Eritrean and repatriated Yemeni refugees living in what are described as precarious conditions.

The money will be spent on health, water and infrastructure over the the next ten months. The EU and the United States yesterday announced further aid to drought-stricken countries in the Horn of Africa
